tashm 's review for:
The Wife Stalker
by Liv Constantine
Liv Constantine is officially responsible for a day of me being unproductive. Because I could not put this down. I couldn't get through this quick enough to find out what was going on and I wasn't disappointed.
I was a huge fan of The Last Mrs Parrish and in my opinion this stellar duo have smashed it again with The Wife Stalker. Piper Reynard breezes into Westport with a size 0 figure, a penchant for mindfulness and her sights set on Leo Drakos. (He does sound wonderfully handsome!) Joanna is committed to being a great wife to Leo and mother to Evie and Stelli. Needless to say things don't go smoothly when Piper charms her way into Leo's life. Joanna's senses are heightened as she learns more about Piper's shady background, her previous relationships and her discarded names. But will Joanna be able to protect Leo and the children before it's too late?
I'm a sucker for multiple points of view, so loved the fact this was written from the alternating perspectives of Joanna and Piper and the chapters were deliciously short and snappy. Stelli and Evie were wonderfully written, with some truly heartwarming scenes and others that made me laugh out loud. I guessed one of the more minor twists but the main one came as a s-h-o-c-k and made me immediately want to go back and start again from the beginning. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a tense thriller but as well as being a master of the twist, Constantine sets scenes beautifully - I found myself googling lots of the places described as they sounded amazing! This being the second novel by Liv Constantine I have read, I have definitely learnt that I need to expect the unexpected.
